# 15337.AA Samuel Elijah ⁷son of William F. ⁶ ( Noah ⁵, Cornelius ⁴, Samuel ³, Samuel ², John ¹) BIGELOW and Eliza (EARL) BIGELOW, was born 6 Jan 1851 in Andes Township, Delaware co, NY. He moved with his parents, in 1853, to Montcalm county, MI and in 1869 to Buffalo county, WI. Samuel, by then of full age, returned to MI before 1875. He married, in Gratiot county, Amelia Mary Evans the daughter of Martin Evans and Cynthia (-) Evans. She was born 21 June 1861. They located in New Haven township where she raised dairy cattle and he worked winters as a lumberjack. In 1908, the U.S. Congress passed a homestead law permitting women to file on land in their own name and as she was unhappy in MI, she departed with nearly all of her children taking up her own farm in NE and later CO. Some of her children stayed in CO, others returned to MI and two pushed on to WA. Meanwhile, back in Gratiot county, Samuel retired from farming and logging. He lived with son, Ernest, at Hoxeyville, in Wexford county. He died there 22 March 1929. Amelia returned to MI and died at Hoxeyville on 20 June 1939. Both are buried at Banker cemetery, Hoxeyville.

I found the information when I did a search on Genealogy.com on 3/11/2001 and have only just found you to ask about it. The search criteria I used were “first name: Dawn / Last name: Bush” which is my maiden name. If you go there and do a search you will find that the information that I sent below comes up under “other sources—3 matches on Genealogy web sites” the information I gave you shown listed in the top match . At that time I was married to Leslie Harris. Is he in your genealogy anywhere?
Thanks for checking into this for me. I hope you can figure it out so we both know what is what.

                            1946 Marr: 13 Nov 1965 to Dawn Bush in Edmonds, Washington.
                            Divorced.
                            I am Dawn Bush Bolton and I was married in Edmonds, WA on Nov 13 1965 and I
                            was eventually divorced, but not to Samuel Elijah Bigelow. I'm quite sure
                            there are not 2 people that match that information. Can you enlighten me as
                            to what this information pertains to?
                            Thank you,
I don't know..................................ROD
